But shielding is a good way to think about it, and actually, that's what we'll use in this class to sort of visualize what's happening when we have many electrons in an atom and they're shielding each other.

实际上，它也是我们将在课堂上用于,分类形象化的当我们有,很多电子在原子中,它们互相屏蔽时会发生些什么,屏蔽是被使用的名词。

So when we talk about formal charge, basically formal charge is the measure of the extent to which an individual atom within your molecule has either gained or lost an electron.

说到形式电荷，基本上形式电荷就是,单个原子在形成分子之后,是得到了电子还是失去了电子的一种量度。
